VEUVE CLICQUOT YELLOW LABEL BRUT

Yellow Label is the signature of Veuve Clicquot’s quality and style, recreated every year thanks to our priceless collection of reserve wines. Its brilliant yellow label reflects the champagne’s bright personality and impeccable winemaking credentials.

THE BLEND

Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label.

He blends 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend.

The long aging in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne.

TASTING NOTES

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - strength and silkiness - and to hold them in perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness.

This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
